yup, just had it done today at a machine shop. The bearing cost 67 at the dealer. If you don't need it right away, you might be able to get it from ahmotor.com for cheaper. It cost me 30 at the machine shop to press out the bearing and put the new one in. You just need to disassemble the knuckle so you can take it to them.

I'm asking because i'm seriously considering the steering knuckle/end link set by Ryane motorsports. www.ryanemotorsports.com
These or course do not come with new bearings, so i was wondering what i'm in for. What about the back bearings? they need to be pressed as well?

i haven't done the back so i'm not sure, the front was easy though, the only thing was that i didn't have a hydraulic press so i had to pay someone to press the bearing out, but it only takes a good machinist about 5-10 minutes to press a new bearing in and to press the hub back in. the fun part will be actually taking apart the ball joints, i only took apart one but since you're buying just the knuckle you'll have to take apart 3 on each side for the front and that is the hard part.
